Rev, you know that is a straight line to a very inappropriate joke, don't you? And we were just trying to get rid of the nasty talk.

Pacho--I guess you could put the key words and responses in, but the grammar in the Forge will be English (and the spelling corrections will look for English words). It might not work well. I'd ask Esser if you see her logged on.

thanks Bev

Pacho: I recall Doulos also trying w/ spanish and having a really hard time due to the 'fuzzy spelling engine' ie "como" as in "como se llama" translates into 'coma' or 'comma'

Wow, I'm really confused about my bot. What do all the keywords, ranks, and such all mean? Please help.

Aerial: Have you taken a look at the Book of AI? A good read of the Beginner section should be enough to answer all of those questions and get you off to a good start.

A nutshell:
KeyPhrase = some word series your bot recognizes
Response = something bot says after recognizing a keyphrase
Seek = a keyphrase that follows a response
rank = a way to control the responses by giving the an 'emotional impact' (these determine when to say either "I love you more than my own life" ("[5:5]") or "May you get a case of scabbies that were crossed-bred with termites" ("[-5:-5]")

You know, someone should make a program so that you can export your bot, and be able to work with it offline, and be able to chat with it.

you can work on your bot offline, go to my bots - export & import

but you can't chat with them, the only possible way is to make a visual basic chatbot that can use your exported bot's .TXT file as a database.

Anybody know this guy named Guchi? All of the sudden he starts insulting me. He's not one of the Leeds kids, but I don't know what his problem is. We've never spoken before.

My bot responds incorrectly when you sell hello/hi/hey etc. He keeps saying that he is new, and can't speak well yet, but doesn't the xhello thing do that anyways? I've added responses to it, so as far as I know it should work.
